Ava Richey's Art News

Hi Everyone,

This coming Monday, April 25th we will meet 12 - 3 p.m. at Old Town Pizza in the McNair building at the corner of 2nd Street (Hwy 101) and Delaware in Old Town Bandon. Rain is predicted so we are back inside. :(

I'll be working at the Gallery that day. If the weather turns out to be beautiful you can go out on the picnic tables, or over to the boat basin to paint. :) Hopefully it will get warm enough to be outside soon.

Thanks.
Ava
